- In a large skillet or grill top, heat sesame oil. Saute minced garlic, red pepper strips, and frozen oriental vegetables; stir in a folding motion. Cook until vegetables are tender-crisp. In the last few minutes of cooking, add in the snow peas and cook until all the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Combine the second portion of soya sauce and prepared chicken broth; mix into vegetables and then add in the cooked rice noodles and sliced almonds. Reduce heat. Cook to an internal temperature of 165'F/74'C held for at least 15 seconds.
